Technical analysis of the magnet - data

The following information represent the direct effect of a mathematical analysis. Results are based on algorithms for the material Nd₂Fe₁₄B. Operational performance may deviate from the simulation results. Use these data as a preliminary roadmap during assembly planning.

Grip strength drops significantly with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Note that even the smallest gap (e.g., dirt, varnish, veneer) strongly diminishes the holding power. Magnets work most effectively at the point of direct contact; air break drastically cuts the force. Observe how quickly the pull force fall, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the metal substrate. When calculating the mounting, discard unnecessary gaps.

This section presents the approximate shear load required to start the sliding of the magnet vertically on a upright steel plate (assuming typical friction coefficient). This value is relative to the air gap between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Vertical assembly (sliding) - vertical pull
MPL 20x3x2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.70 kg / 1.54 pounds 699.0 g / 6.9 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.47 kg / 1.03 pounds 466.0 g / 4.6 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.23 kg / 0.51 pounds 233.0 g / 2.3 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	1.17 kg / 2.57 pounds 1165.0 g / 11.4 N

When mounting a holder on a upright surface (e.g., a board), it will maintain only about 1/5 of its nominal power. Gravity as well as a weak degree of grip cause that products move down easier than they detach. Want to create a hanger? Note that the shear force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the holder will slide down under a much lighter weight. Using a rubber coating can significantly raise the stability.

3 mm	75%	1.75 kg / 3.85 pounds 1747.5 g / 17.1 N
5 mm	100%	2.33 kg / 5.14 pounds 2330.0 g / 22.9 N

12 mm	100%	2.33 kg / 5.14 pounds 2330.0 g / 22.9 N

A thin sheet is unable to conduct the entire magnetic field, which wastes potential of the holder. If you attach a powerful product to a weak sheet, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To utilize 100% of this neodymium's power, you need a suitably thick piece of steel. The material oversaturation causes that on thin elements (e.g., appliance housings), the magnet holds weaker. We suggest choosing the steel cross-section from these parameters.

Standard neodymium magnets lose parameters above the temperature limit. Avoid high temperatures – high temperature can permanently damage this product. With increasing heat, the neodymium's power briefly lowers. Refrain from using this magnet close to ovens higher than its safe range. Too high temperature will result in destruction of magnetism.

*Important note: Temperature resistance depends not only on the material grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Thin magnets (low permeance coefficient) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress than taller cylinders. The danger warning in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and steel setup. The setup of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a further horizon of operation. Designing a powerful holder? Apply two magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the pinch force is huge. The levitation is slightly lower than the attraction, but still large.
*Field value for N-N configuration drops to ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Note: Calculations refer to sliding force of two same magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

A strong magnetic field is a large risk to electronics as well as medical implants. These NdFeB products produce a flux that destroys function of sensitive medical devices. Notice: the invisible magnetic field acts through matter and plastic. Special caution must be taken by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. Influence will be felt by: mechanical watches, car keys, speakers, and screens. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Table 8: Impact energy (kinetic energy) - warning
MPL 20x3x2 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	51.34 km/h (14.26 m/s)	0.09 J
30 mm	88.88 km/h (24.69 m/s)	0.27 J
50 mm	114.74 km/h (31.87 m/s)	0.46 J
100 mm	162.27 km/h (45.08 m/s)	0.91 J

NdFeB products are delicate – a violent impact against metal causes immediate chipping. Watch the impact speed – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Impact energy can destroy the magnet or dangerous crushing to fingers. Always hold the magnet during mounting so it doesn't hit with great force against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h ends with a crack of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when working with large magnets.

Rust risk: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

The magnetic field penetrates through water without any losses. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.

1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.32

The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. The solid red line represents the demagnetization curve (material potential), while the dashed blue line is the load line based on the magnet's geometry. The P_c (Permeance Coefficient), also known as the load line slope, is a dimensionless value that describes the relationship between the magnet's shape and its magnetic stability. The intersection of these two lines (the black dot) is the operating point — it determines the actual magnetic flux density generated by the magnet in this specific configuration. A higher P_c value means the magnet is more 'slender' (tall relative to its area), resulting in a higher operating point and better resistance to irreversible demagnetization caused by external fields or temperature. A value of 0.42 is relatively low (typical for flat magnets), meaning the operating point is closer to the 'knee' of the curve — caution is advised when operating at temperatures near the maximum limit to avoid strength loss.

This product is a very powerful magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 20x3x2 mm and a weight of 0.9 g, guarantees premium class connection. This rectangular block with a force of 22.90 N is ready for shipment in 24h, allowing for rapid realization of your project. The durable anti-corrosion layer ensures a long lifespan in a dry environment, protecting the core from oxidation.

The key to success is shifting the magnets along their largest connection plane (using e.g., the edge of a table), which is easier than trying to tear them apart directly. To separate the MPL 20x3x2 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend care, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. Never use metal tools for prying, as the brittle NdFeB material may chip and damage your eyes.

Plate magnets MPL 20x3x2 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 2.33 kg), they are ideal as hidden locks in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Customers often choose this model for workshop organization on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.

Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue type) are good only for small magnets; for larger plates, we recommend resins. For lighter applications or mounting on smooth surfaces, branded foam tape (e.g., 3M VHB) will work, provided the surface is perfectly degreased. Remember to roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.

Standardly, the MPL 20x3x2 / N38 model is magnetized axially (dimension 2 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on its largest, flat surfaces. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (20x3 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.

This model is characterized by dimensions 20x3x2 mm, which, at a weight of 0.9 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 2.33 kg (force ~22.90 N), which, with such a compact shape, proves the high grade of the material. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:

Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
Magnets effectively resist against demagnetization caused by external fields,
Thanks to the shiny finish, the plating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
Magnets exhibit impressive magnetic induction on the outer layer,
Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
In view of the potential of free forming and adaptation to specialized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
Wide application in electronics industry – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also complex engineering applications.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity represents the peak performance, recorded under ideal test conditions, meaning:

with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
with a plane perfectly flat
under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
in temp. approx. 20°C

What influences lifting capacity in practice

In practice, the real power depends on many variables, ranked from crucial:

Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings

Impact on smartphones

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Crushing force

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Risk of cracking

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Safe operation

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.

Allergic reactions

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Demagnetization risk

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Safe distance

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Mechanical processing

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Implant safety

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Danger to the youngest

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.

Danger! Details about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
